Lemon & Oil Salad Dressing...
.JPG)
This is a method more than a recipe. I vary the ingredients according to what is on hand and what I am in the mood for. The basic idea is to mix about equal amounts oil and acidic juice (I use more juice and less oil), add crushed garlic and seasonings, shake and let the flavors blend.
1/4 cup oil (such as extra virgin olive oil or canola)
1/3 lemon juice (or lime juice, or vinegar of choice)
2 to 3 cloves crushed garlic
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper (more or less to taste)
2 teaspoons herbs (oregano, thyme, tarragon, whatever you like!) (Again: use more or less to taste!)
Just put all of the ingredients in a jar, put on the lid and shake well. Taste test and adjust seasonings. Allow to "rest" for a while so that the flavors blend before drizzling on green or pasta salad. Recently I have made this with a combination of Canola Oil, Lime Juice, Garlic, Crushed Red Pepper, Thyme and Oregano. It was delicious!
